Wannabe Balanced | MINDSET Coach

This podcast started out as a self help podcast for moms trying to find balance in motherhood and business but morphed into a documentation of Crystal and Sean Escobar’s journey out of the Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). The Podcast has been therapeutic on so many levels for its hosts. They vulnerably share their pitfalls and triumphs as they work to deconstruct a lifetime of indoctrination from the LDS church which they exited in the Spring of 2018. Sexual shame, marriage, parenting, science, spirituality, personal development, healing, sex abuse, are some of the topics they focus on.

At episode 100 they both decided they were done processing their experience in the church and shifted their focus on helping others heal and grow in all areas of life. Crystal became a Certified Life/ Mindset Coach in 2020 and now offers free education in personal development via her podcast.

Her mission is to help women overcome past trauma and limiting beliefs, empowering them to create the life they were meant to live through her podcast, Time Management Course, and one on one coaching services.

Ep. #151: Depression | DEEP REST from the Character You're Trying to Play Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

"Depression is your body saying, fuck you. I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar you've created in the world. It's too much for me."

~Jim Carrey

Everything was going great, I was on top of the world, ready to take on 2023...

Then I saw her coming my way, I tried to hide so she couldn’t see me. I ducked, I pretended I didn’t see her, but nope. She spotted me with her petrifying gaze and under her spell I went.

This past week I encountered my least favorite emotion, her name is DEPRESSION. She often accompanies me during the winter season of my menstrual cycle. Although I can usually expect her to arrive pretty consistently, sometimes she does’t come at all which then leads me to assume she’s gone for good.

In this episode I'm sharing a sequence of recent events that triggered my inner critic which then led me in a direction that was quite enlightening.

Using my winter/ hibernation season for deep rest and introspection. I'll tell you what I uncovered this month.

Ep #150: Is Your Brain a Dog or a Cat? Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

We often hear people describe our inner chaos and continuous thoughts as our “monkey minds”. But tonight I want to teach you about your Dog Brain. Allow me to explain…

So the dog brain. Let’s call it a Golden Retriever. Golden retrievers are a breed of dog that we know are highly intelligent and for many reasons are the dog of choice as the star in many of those feel good movies.

When I think of a Golden Retriever, I think loyal, happy, playful, eager to please companions.

Golden Retrievers are extremely smart and quick learners which is why this breed is commonly used for search and rescue and as service dogs.

So, there is a part of our brain called the reticular activating system. This is our filter, our lens in which we perceive the world. It looks for and finds information that validates our current belief system.

Language is what influences the R.A.S. Once it’s activated by the language, it goes on a search and edit mission. Searches for more of these things and edits out the rest.

So just like the Golden Retriever, our R.A.S, when given a command, or SCENTence, it can be trained to search, retrieve, and rescue.

Ep #149: How to QUIT Sugar, Alcohol, or Coffee Jan 04, 2023
Show notes

I’ve attempted to quit plenty of things over my lifetime, as we all have. But ever since 2020 I’ve discovered an entirely new level of discipline. It’s like something suddenly clicked in my brain and I was able to conquer many of my addictions, cravings, and urges.

Things I’ve kicked since 2020, sugar, gluten, coffee, alcohol, pizza, chocolate, my addiction to social media, gossiping, and much much more.

Since noticing this huge shift in my ability to conquer these things, I’ve began to reverse engineer what has been happening to me, which is a lot, and I’ve actually formulated a whole process that I’m now coaching people through, but I wanted to share a small piece with you today to assist you in your resolutions for 2023.

My theme this year is to become a New ME in 2023. I started setting my intensions a few weeks ago and created a free workbook for all of you. If you’re on my email list then you should have received it, if not then you can sign up via this link: http://eepurl.com/cOWSW5

The goal with this workbook is to clearly identify the person you’re hoping to step into, then identify the specific habits you need to develop in order to embody that potential you know you have.

So what I’m getting at here, is that quitting anything obviously starts with HABITS and I’m going to teach you what I’ve found to be the most effective habit forming strategy. And of course, schedule a coaching session with me if you’re needing additional help and accountability.

Ep #148: WHO do you Wanna BE in 2023? Dec 20, 2022
Show notes

I love this time of year!

It's the time to COLLECTIVELY reflect on the previous year, and set our intentions for the new year.

We often hear people say, "you don't need to wait until the new year to start making resolutions."

I agree, it's good to take inventory throughout the year, pivot when needed, and continuously ignite your enthusiasm when it comes to your vision.

So who do you wanna BE in 2023?

Wannabe... this term usually has a derogatory meaning. It's how we usually describe someone who wants to be something they are NOT. Imatating or trying to be like someone else.

But let's lighten this up a bit. Let's imagine the person we wanna BE, not coming from a place of lack or inferiority. Not because we are seeking attention, recognition, or admiration.

But because deep down inside you KNOW your potential, and because you know you CAN be who you wanna BE.

I can't wait to see you BECOME the person you wanna BE in 2023. Use these journal prompts I've created for you to provide clarity, and an opportunity for you to visualize and set your intension for the year.

I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks really contemplating this question and visualizing my entire next year.

I actually really enjoy this process of setting my intentions and planning out my year.

I also love going back and reading my journal entries this time last year. It’s fun to see what I was able to create and where I was at 1 year ago.

As I’ve been getting clear on who I wanna BE in 2023, I went ahead and put together a workbook that I thought others might find useful.

If you’d like me to send you this 11 page workbook then just enter your email here http://eepurl.com/cOWSW5 and I’ll email it to you.

{If you’re already on my list, then you will be getting the workbook in your inbox this week}

Also, schedule a mini session with me if you’d like to know more about how I can help you in 2023.

Ep #147: Navigating Difficult Emotions During the Holidays Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

This time of year, although magical, can also be an extremely difficult time for many.

For various reasons it can trigger unresolved childhood trauma, loneliness, and of course financial stress and overwhelm.

So my intention for tonights call is to hold space for the loneliness, trauma, and stress, as we gently direct our focus towards healing, growth, and freedom from the past.

About a month ago I broke out in this horrible rash. I was so discouraged because I’d like to believe that I’m pretty healthy and that I do what it takes to maintain optimal health.

Many of us have seen tremendous results with our health and wellbeing thanks to the ER Shred protocol. But our diets can only take us so far. It can’t cure our emotional wounds.

It can be a stepping stone and create a HUGE breakthrough, but it’s only a 3rd of the equation when we’re talking about holistic health.

As much as I teach that health is not just about what we eat, it’s also about how well we’re able to manage our minds and emotions, this piece to the puzzle just seemed to slip past my awareness when I broke out in a rash.

My first response was to blame my diet, thinking, what am I doing wrong. What supplement do I need? What should I start eating or stop eating.

I skipped right past the obvious, and my focus went directly to my diet instead of looking at my stress levels and emotional health.

We must always be aware of the whole, body, mind, and soul.

Sometimes we need a little nudge from the people who know us best. Thank you Sean for encouraging me to look deeper.

Ep. #146: How to SIMPLIFY Your Life | When it all becomes too much Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

The amount of decisions we need to make each day has only continued to increase over the past couple centuries. Think of the amount of choices we are presented with each day. Instead of having to choose between 2 or 3 options, we now have hundreds of different options in every category imaginable. Food, entertainment, drinks, clothing, skincare, cars, phones, flavors, scents.

I just walked through bath and body works the other day and wow, can you believe all the different SMELLS they offer?

It’s no wonder I’m always completely exhausted any time I have to go to the mall. Consumer culture is bogging us down and we don’t even realize how much it is affecting our wellbeing.

Many of us struggle to remedy this decision over load. But guess what, I think I can help guide you in the right direction.

Ep #145: Don't Take Your Personality Personally Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Don't take your personality personally, it's not you. You are the watcher, the observer, the director...

Like a scientist, you learn through the experimentation of things.

You are not the rat. You are gaining insights by watching the rats and how they respond and interact.

Ep #144: How to turn your DREAMS into REALITY Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

When I was about 21 years old I remember telling one of my friends about my crazy life as a child. She said to me, “wow, you’re going to write a book some day”.

That ONE comment sparked a tiny little flame of belief in myself. I never would have expected anyone to say something like that to me. I always believed that I wasn’t very smart.

We moved about every 6 months growing up which meant I was constantly changing schools and curriculums, not to mention the adjustment period I went through each time.

I was in the lowest reading level and often had to go to a separate class with the kids who needed extra help. So this sure did a number on my self esteem. Also, I was completely unaware of the growth mindset that Carol Dweck so beautifully reveals.

I always believed that my genes determine my potential.

I wasn’t one of the “lucky” ones. Wasn’t “blessed” with any special gifts or talents. My parents couldn’t afford to put me in dance or any sports, so I didn’t have opportunities to find out if I was even good at anything.

So when my friend said this to me I just went with it. I started thinking a lot about it, imagining it, brainstorming ideas of what I could write about in a book.

Five years later I started the Wannabe Balanced blog, ten years after that I wrote that book!

Ep #142: Diary of a Teenage Girl Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

Spent some time over the weekend reading journal entries from when I was in highschool. It’s so fun for me to look back on the person I was then. To visit the 16-18 year old version of me. Lots of thoughts come to my mind. Wondering how differnt I might have been as a teen if I understood my emotions. I had no clue the effect hormones were having on my mind. Wondering how different my experience might have been if I understood how much emotions, beliefs, and thoughts were impacting my outlook on life and my own self worth. If my 40 year old self could have just one hour to talk to my 20 year old self, how cool would that be? First off, I’d tell her she has nothing to worry about. I worried so much about my future happiness, and I feared being alone & unloved more than anything. I would spend some time explaining how the mind works, about thoughts, emotions, hormones, and my beliefs. I would teach her about the growth mindset. I would tell her to embrace her sexuality and to stop feeling ashamed about all of it. I would explain to her about truth being subjective, and what I know now about religion and how beliefs are just beliefs, and that I don’t HAVE to adopt them. Especially if they are causing me pain and suffering. So many things I’d like to tell her if I had the chance. What would you say to your teenage self?
